    I remember back when parents freaked out because we were wearing different colored bracelets to school and that it meant we were doing bad sex things. I yearn for that level of stupid nowadays. It was so much smarter than “No! No! The school isn’t allowed to tell Jimmy he can be Jenny. That’s, like, against what my God says… or something.”
